Getting your Xai node up and running is a straight-forward process. A node address will be provided. This is unique to you. You will need to delegate your keys to this address. Your node address will then be able to run all licenses associated with your Sentry wallet's address.

STEP 1 - Purchase your [Xai node](https://xai-foundation.gitbook.io/xai-network/xai-blockchain/sentry-node-purchase-and-setup/step-1-purchase-a-sentry-key) and be sure to finish the KYC process.

STEP 2 - Purchase your node from Node Orbit

STEP 3 - [Delegate your keys to your Node Orbit Operator](https://xai-foundation.gitbook.io/xai-network/xai-blockchain/sentry-node-purchase-and-setup/common-troubleshooting-steps/how-do-i-delegate-my-keys-to-another-users-operator).

* From the dashboard, click Actions -> Delegate keys.  This will open up a URL to assign your wallet to your node.
* Click "Assign wallet to Sentry"
* Sign the transaction

STEP 4 - Fund your node address with .005 AETH to cover gas fees.  **Omitting this step means you won't get any rewards.**  Your node address is different than your wallet address.

STEP 5 - Go to Actions->Update node data and submit your Sentry Wallet address.  This will start your node.  You can now view the logs, or restart your node if necessary.

**Please note that if you do not fund your node address with .005 AETH to cover gas fees, you will NOT receive any rewards.  Make sure this address has funds to cover gas for your rewards.**
